2018 Volvo S90 2.0L Diesel · FX68 LFF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as the most recent test in October 2025 resulted in a failure on 115,773 miles, indicating a serious mechanical condition that has not been resolved. The maintenance trend is deteriorating, evidenced by the failure to pass the MOT at 14,472 miles per year in October 2025, which is significantly higher than the 115,773 miles recorded in October 2025. This rapid escalation suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since the previous MOT failure in October 2025. The mileage pattern indicates a severe accumulation of wear that is inconsistent with the vehicle's age, as the 115,773 miles recorded in October 2025 represent approximately 8 years of operation, a level of mileage that would typically suggest a vehicle in good condition. This high mileage rate is particularly concerning because the vehicle is only about 8 years old, yet it has accumulated nearly 14,000 miles annually, implying that the owner has been driving the car at high speeds or in heavy traffic without addressing the wear on critical components. The gap between the October 2025 test and the October 2025 failure confirms that the vehicle has not been maintained for the full duration of its lifespan, leading to the current state of failure. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify recurring faults and structural risks that are not visible from the MOT record. The most critical issue is the severe fluid leak in the rear shock absorbers, which has caused the MOT to fail in October 2025, indicating that the suspension system is compromised and requires immediate professional repair. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads on both front and rear brakes in October 2023 suggests that the brake system is prone to failure and should be replaced before the vehicle reaches the 115,773-mile threshold. The presence of structural issues such as rust on the rear tyres and the presence of binding calipers in the rear suspension also necessitate a physical inspection to determine the extent of the damage and the need for suspension bushings or coil springs.
